I started the draft of this post over six weeks ago – yikes!! There were some technical difficulties uploading photos and I became discouraged. I set things aside “for a bit” until I felt confident to tackle the tech side of things and, well, “a bit” turned into “a lot” pretty quickly! So without further ado, here’s a much-delayed post.
